Auto mode feels like a solution to a problem they created. Whitelisting commands used to work fairly well until the agents started generating complex bash commands that it gave up …

Huh, it's wild that they didn't send an email about this. I can't imagine people taking this well, especially as they don't seem to be giving notice about the end of it either.

This is the first I'm hearing about a usage cut. Do you have a link to an announcement for this? Search hasn't shown anything.

Interesting that this showed up here now. I did it a week ago after hearing about it on The Rest Is Science. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t-5lQ2mzuw

Seems kind of similar (at least in purpose) to giscus, a commenting system powered by GitHub Discussions. https://github.com/giscus/giscus

You actually can do that. https://github.com/settings/pages

It looks like SARIF is JSON, with a formal schema. I'm guessing the JSON they used to output used their own, non-standard schema.

Could be to highlight their incompatibility?

There are communities of people who publicly blog about their eating disorders. I wouldn't be surprised if the laymen's discourse is over-represented in the LLM's training data com…

Maybe you need to make shorter PRs?

Yeah, my first thought (admittedly an absurd one) went to something along the lines of: "I flipped a coin and the LLM called heads. I should have gone with tails..."

The title is misleading. Productivity isn't at 10%, it's at 110%.

> For Linux, just use the emacs that comes with the distro. Are the major distros shipping packages with tree-sitter support yet?

Your comment heavily implied (to me) scaling databases horizontally. Yes, it's not necessarily "Google scale" either, but it's a ton of extra complexity that I'm happy to avoid. Bu…

"Distributed systems" doesn't have to mean some fancy, purpose-built thing. Just correlating between two Postgres databases might be a thing you need to do. Or a database and a fla…

Do most people? Not everyone is Google.

Just following the chat for a few minutes, people posted links to a couple of other locations: Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeMUdOPF…

I worked on creating a card game with a couple of my friends. We kept all of the cards in a Google Sheet, allowing everyone to easily edit or create new cards. Then, I wrote a scri…

In Python, every variable is either defined or imported in the file in which it's used, so you always know where to find it. (Assuming you don't do `from foo import *`, which is fr…

Is this just because LLMs don't have state? As far as I understand it, as you have a back-and-forth conversation with an LLM, you have to provide the entire history of the conversa…

With Typescript, I find it pretty eager to just try `(foo as any).bar` when it gets the initial typing wrong. It also likes to redefine types in every file they're used instead of …

These days, I'd say always start with the YouTube tabs.

I also went into that book blind. I was in grade 12 and some organization was offering scholarships to people who wrote an essay about the book. I had a twice-daily 45-minute bus r…

Ultimately, you need to decide who your target user is. Do you want to cater to the lowest common denominator, or do you want to want to make something power users can customize to…

I welcome being out of touch. The current trends seem ridiculous to me. There's no practical difference between sending a message via Instagram vs via email. It's all just marketin…
